After the Full-Level Boss Entered the Infinite Game By Mistake

Chapter 588

“Brother Zhou, you’re amazing! You silently maxed out your progress bar?! So you’re the NO.1 after all, but I’m not bad either,” Xia Chi exclaimed cheerfully. “Great, it looks like we’re all about to finish. Brother Zhou, you go out first, we’ll find you to play after we’re out!”

He rolled over and lay on the back of the sofa, sounding very discouraged. “But I don’t want to go out now. I haven’t found Tan Yue yet.”

“To you, Old Zhou!” Li Cancan raised her glass with flushed cheeks and swayed. “Today our guild has double happiness, I’ll drink first to celebrate!”

Seeing Li Cancan’s hearty gesture, Zhou Guang lost his earlier concerns. He poured himself a glass of white wine and gulped it in one go. “Thank you, I won’t forget you all.”

“Here’s to your bright future. I’m hoping that if my company gets into a lawsuit one day, I can benefit from Lawyer Zhou’s help,” Sun Ning, who was still relatively sober, poured herself a glass of wine. “I’ll stop here, you must finish yours in one go.”

Zhou Guang’s eyes were slightly moist as he filled his glass again. “Of course, I’ll drink it all, you do as you please!”

“Vice President Zhou, all good things must come to an end. Although I feel a bit reluctant, I envy your ability to leave this place. Thank you for your help to our Sand Sea Guild for so long. This is a toast to you.” Song Yuantian looked indecisive on normal days, but he was very capable at critical moments.” He poured himself a glass of white wine which he downed in one gulp, and his cheeks instantly turned red.

Today’s lively gathering eventually turned into Zhou Guang’s farewell party. Everyone raised their glasses one by one, offering their blessings.

Zhou Guang had never lost his composure like he did today. He drank glass after glass of highly concentrated white wine until he couldn’t stand up anymore, still chanting “Cheers, do as you please” repeatedly!

Finally, he passed out drunk on the sofa, marking the end of the party.

After the toasts, only Bai Lixin, Sun Ning, Samael, and Song Yuantian remained somewhat sober.

Bai Lixin quickly bought a few comfortable beds from the mall and temporarily settled everyone here.

The four of them managed to lift everyone onto the beds, then Song Yuantian left with Hongyue.

Sun Ning and Samael were about to leave too, but Bai Lixin stopped them.

Bai Lixin: “Sun Ning, do you still remember your brother and Chi Yan?”

Sun Ning: “I remember. What’s wrong?”

Bai Lixin: “Then do you remember a player named Lin Xiao?”

Sun Ning shook her head in confusion. “No, I don’t know him.”

Bai Lixin took out Lin Xiao’s notebook from his backpack and handed it to Sun Ning, who looked puzzled. “Take a look at this notebook. Do you notice anything special about it?”

Sun Ning looked even more puzzled. She carefully examined the contents written in the notebook. “Is this a copy guide? It looks like a guide for your last [Stolen Treasure] copy?”

As she looked, her expression grew even more puzzled. Her features wrinkled in a mix of pain and struggle, as if she had encountered something very perplexing.

Suddenly, her eyes turned into a hollow black. The pitch-black gradually contracted from the outside to the inside, finally gathering into a black dot.

Sun Ning suddenly raised her head. “Lin Xiao? Were you asking about Lin Xiao just now? I suddenly remembered, wasn’t there a player named Lin Xiao in the [Stolen Treasure] copy?”

Bai Lixin was stunned. “You remembered?”

‘What was going on?

How did she suddenly remember?’

The young man’s suspicious gaze fell on the notebook in Sun Ning’s hand.

Could it be Sun Ning remembered after looking at the contents of the notebook?

The reason why Bai Lixin let Sun Ning see this notebook was because Sun Ning had a prop called “diary” that could record memories. Since both were book-type props, there might be some similarities.

He suspected that the notebook Lin Xiao gave him also had the function of a diary, so he wanted Sun Ning, the owner of the diary, to see what was going on.

However, he never expected that Sun Ning would remember Lin Xiao after reading the contents of the notebook.

He also had an understanding of how the prop “diary” was used: before the player died, the owner could record the player’s name, some characteristic behaviors, habits, or even photos in the diary. Even after the player died, the owner of the diary would not forget about this player.

Sun Ning’s older brother had died in a previous copy. The reason why Sun Ning still remembered her brother was because she had written her brother’s information in the diary.

However, there was no description of “Lin Xiao” in the notebook.

The notebook only recorded some NPC investigations recorded by Lin Xiao.

What are the skills of the notebook? What are the conditions for triggering them?

Could it be that as long as someone touched the notebook, they could remember its original owner?

Thinking this way, Bai Lixin took the notebook from Sun Ning’s hand and gave it to Samael.

“Samael, do you remember Lin Xiao?” Bai Lixin asked.

Samael shook his head. “I don’t know him.”

Bai Lixin stuffed the notebook to Samael. “Then open the notebook and look at what’s written inside.”

Samael did not understand, but he still opened the notebook as instructed.

He read it carefully. There were only a few pages of records in the notebook. After quickly flipping through to the last page of the record, Samael closed the notebook. “I’ve finished reading it. What’s next? What’s strange about this notebook?”

“Do you know Lin Xiao now?” Bai Lixin asked.

Samael still shook his head. “I still don’t know him.”

Bai Lixin paused. “…”

‘One knew, the other didn’t.

What was going on?’

His gaze wandered between the bewildered Sun Ning and Samael. Suddenly, a lightbulb went off in Bai Lixin’s mind, and he seemed to have grasped something.

“Sun Ning, did you say you watched my live broadcast of [Stolen Treasure]?” Bai Lixin asked.

Sun Ning: “As long as I’m not in a copy, I’ve watched every one of your broadcasts.”

Bai Lixin: “What about the [Mermaid Laboratory]?”

“I watched that too. Oh, I remember now. Lin Xiao was also in the [Mermaid Laboratory],” Sun Ning said suddenly.

Bai Lixin’s gaze returned to Samael. “And you, Samael. Have you watched my [Stolen Treasure] and [Mermaid Laboratory] live broadcasts?”

Samael’s hood shook again. “I haven’t watched them. I’ve been challenging copies nonstop, so I haven’t had time to watch live broadcasts.”

Bai Lixin looked at the notebook in his hand, and the triggering conditions of the notebook seemed to be getting clearer.

The triggering conditions of this notebook seemed to be somewhat different from the diary. The diary made people remember the contents recorded above, while the notebook made others remember its owner.

And remembering the owner was also conditional. Only those who had seen the owner of the notebook would remember him when they saw the notebook.

If someone else saw this notebook, it should just be an ordinary notebook…

Bai Lixin fiddled with the small notebook in his hand, lost in thought.

What was the purpose of the notebook Lin Xiao left for him?

He had not forgotten about Lin Xiao, was it because of this notebook?

No, that’s not right.

When he came out of the Mermaid Laboratory, he didn’t have the notebook, but he still remembered Lin Xiao.

Something felt off.

Lin Xiao, who was so mysterious, went to great lengths to give himself such a notebook just to make others remember him?

Why did he have a feeling that the abilities of this notebook were not limited to just that?

“Drink, keep drinking!” Emil, who was slung over Samael’s shoulder like a sack of potatoes, shouted drunkenly.

Samael: “Bai Lixin, if there’s nothing else, I’ll head back first.”

“Wait, I have a question to ask you,” Bai Lixin remembered to stop Samael, “If you can leave the copy and enter the horror game lobby, is it possible for other copy residents to also leave their copies and enter the game lobby?”

Samael pondered briefly. “It should be possible.”

Bai Lixin: “Then can copy residents who have left their copies still have some kind of connection with the residents still in the copy?”

“No,” Samael denied decisively, “The law of the Dark Jungle. For me, the Horror Game lobby is that dark jungle. I don’t know if what I’m about to face will be benevolent or malevolent. I will tightly wrap my identity and behave like a normal player.”

“Why do you suddenly ask me this? Did you discover other copy residents mixed in among players?”

Bai Lixin waved his hand. “No, I’m just suddenly curious.”

“Although I can’t perceive other copy residents, I can tell you a characteristic of them,” Samael offered his insight, “They usually appear mysterious. They may appear on the ranking list due to outstanding performances, but they rarely appear in public environments. Even when they do, they hide and disguise themselves, such as using a hood like me, or applying heavy makeup on their faces to look completely different. Some more extreme cases might even change their height, age, or even gender.”

“The purpose is to keep people guessing and to keep the system guessing too.”

Bai Lixin firmly remembered Samael’s descriptions and silently compared them to Lin Xiao.

However, Samael’s method seemed inapplicable to Lin Xiao. Lin Xiao wasn’t mysterious; he was simply not remembered at all.

Such a person didn’t even need to use any disguise.

After all, no matter how perfect the disguise, it would eventually reveal its flaws; only erasing memories was the cleanest method.

‘Wait.’ Bai Lixin suddenly realized something.

He raised his head abruptly, a thought flashing through his mind.

Perhaps he had been wrong from the beginning.

Lin Xiao not being remembered by people wasn’t some curse or negative buff but Lin Xiao actively making people forget about him!

He hadn’t been suppressed or excluded by the system. On the contrary, Lin Xiao had blocked and manipulated the system’s search function!

If that was the case, then many of the inconsistencies he had felt earlier could be explained.

He had met Lin Xiao twice in copies; it couldn’t be a coincidence.

Lin Xiao must have targeted him early on. The first time in the Mermaid Laboratory was just a passing encounter, and the second time, he gave him this notebook.

If Lin Xiao was really being suppressed by the system, how could he casually travel between copies like this?

He was not being erased by the system and he was moving between copies with ease.

Lin Xiao wasn’t an outcast; he was a ranger!

Bai Lixin shot up with a “swish” and quickly strode to the gate.

While walking, he hurriedly waved to Samael and Sun Ning, “Thank you both, I’ve finished asking what I needed to ask. I have urgent matters to attend to now, so please excuse me!”

Watching Bai Lixin’s hasty departure, Samael and Sun Ning looked at each other.

Sun Ning: “Shall we leave too?”

Samael: “So, what inspiration did he gain from our conversation?”

Sun Ning: “… Who knows?”
